Dear Mr Jerz,
We are planning a Forum item on your move 10...Qe7! in the Traxler in the Forum section of our next Yearbook (no. 93). Mr
Pietro Pastore has written on this and given you credit for the variation.
Could you send us a digital picture of yourself which we could publish with this article?
Thank you beforehand,
With best wishes,
Peter Boel
Managing Editor

Hello John,
very interesting stuff you have on this site. I was pointed to this site by Harold Goldowsky, who saw a lot of similiarities
between the work that I am trying to accomplish and what you describe here. I tend to agree with him. So maybe it is interesting
for you to come over and have a look. His comment was on a post of me from november 1. |

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the comments.
I was previously aware of the 12.Qe2 Be6 <13.Nc3> line - I posted analysis at the following site on March 21-27, 2006:
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1224863&kpage=4
Additionally, in the 12.Qe2 Be6 <13.Qf2> line, I agree with you that black has some compensation after 13...Nb4 14.Na3, as
in your book Magic!. My analysis was based on lines stemming from 14.Bb5+.
See also A.J. Goldsby's analysis at http://www.geocities.com/lifemasteraj/est-ber1_sh.html

John,
I tried the continuation 12.Qe2 Be6 13.Qf2 about 80 times against Fritz 8 and lost every time. A much simpler win for White
is 12.Qe2 Be6? (According to IM Jeremy Silman, "This sucks for Black.")
My innovation classifies this as the Berliner Gambit:
In my book Magic, I defeated Fritz 8 with the following innovation:
12.Qe2 Be6 13.Nc3!! and Fritz played 13...Nxc3 14.dxc3 (Both Silman and Fritz favor bxc3 here; I just like to straighten out
my pawn structure.) The rest are forced i.e. 14...Bxg3ch 15.hxg3 Qxh1 16.Qxb5ch Kf8 (Fritz thought for over 10 minutes here
in the Game Moody-Fritz 8 120/25.)
17.fxe4 Rc8 18.Bf4 c6? (The horizon effect; the pawn is always lost) 19.Qc5ch Kg8 20.O-O-O Qh2 21.Ba6 Rf8
22.d5! Qh5 23.Qxc6 & White has Bishop and three pawns for the Rook, King safety and the initiative +-.
13.Qf2 is good against a human opponent, but Black keeps getting the grotty Berliner compensation when the Black opponent
ia s strong computer.

The only way i see we clinch this game is to keep it, simple, pratical and efficiently. We got to give hope to the team, ex:
exchange all piecesand our Qside pawns win the day easy. Something everybody can easely see . By by, good success. |

Great collection of qoutes!!
At the moment I'd single out Don Marquise and Thomas A. Edison (perhaps his negative attitude towards Tesla originated based
on his 2nd qoute, and, vice versa). I shall visit those quotes periodically. Thanks! |

Hello John <RV>. Thought I would stop by your website to see what you are into. Phenomenal job on putting together this site.
Took me almost two hours to skim over everything. Your interests are quite diversified. I will surely stop back to give it
a more thorough going over. Will stop by to chat at chessgames.

Hi!
I published a book called Magic last year. I defeated Fritz 8 in both the Berliner Variation and the Wilkes Barre/Traxler
in the middle game. The Berliner Variation is +- by move 20. Just look at 13.Nc3!! instead of 13.Qf2 which just gives the
grotty Berliner compensation (I played 80 games against Fritz 8 with 13.Qf2 and lost every one!)
Black has nothing better than 13...Nxc3 14.dxc3 and White's ugly duckling becomes a beautiful swan. 14...Bxg3ch 15.hxg3 Qxh1
16.Qxb5ch Kf8 (Fritz took 10 minutes here) 17.fxe4 +- in a few moves.
Following standard gambit play, White gives back most of his extra material, shuts down the attack, seizes the initiative,
and emerges with a slight material plus i.e. Bishop and two pawns for a Rook with a third to follow. I got connected passed
pawns on the fifth, sixth and seventh against Fritz.
If you would like a copy of my book send me your address and I'll send you a copy. Just send me your address; any review and
comment would be appreciated. ICM John Elburg in a review, called my book, "Amazing".
I have also played a game giving the greatest odds successfully that probably have ever been given. I gave a stronger computer
nine moves in a row at the start of the game, an extra hour on the clock for each of its moves and still won by using unique
opening and middle game play. It is so tricky in the opening that GM Lev Alburt, using thematic moves, blundered on the third
move. It is an instructive lesson in how to maneuver in a cramped position and the best example of play against a bad Gishop
I have ever seen. There is a diagram after every move and a Q & A segment that ranges in difficulty from class level to world
class level.
I have organized widely dispersed games into a coherent opening system which I call the Universal Attack. The diagnostic moves
are 1...g6/2...Bg7/3...e6/4...Ne7 followed by a rapid d5, never d6.
Cheers,
Richard Moody Jr. |
